Honestly, while houses on the East side of merrick Ave are probably nicer and have more land, there are no bad spots west of merrick ave to Meadowbrook Road (though some of the blocks between Meadowbrook Road and the Meadowbrook Parkway seemed a little shady). We live a bit south of where you are describing, and we walk up to that area all the time. Everyone is friendly, 99% of the homes are well maintained, and you are zoned for great schools. Note, if you are south of Gormley (a few blocks south from Horatio) you are actually zoned for Merrick schools, not North Merrick.
